Army veterans helped unveil the site and found human remains, dozens of musket balls and a 6lb cannon ball. Archaeologists from the University of Glasgow also discovered a number of coins and uniform buttons during the ongoing dig at Mont St Jean in Belgium. The discovery of human remains from that time in the orchard of Mont St Jean was described as a 'significant' find. 'In addition to the musket shot in the orchard of Mont St Jean, we excavated a very exciting find – a six-pound cast iron French cannon ball.' Waterloo Uncovered is a UK charity that combines an archaeology project on the battlefield of Waterloo with a support programme for veterans and the military community.
